Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer (written and directed by Jason Reitman)
- Thread starter Khanimus
- Start date
Probably Gozer. The mine the ghosts came from belonged to Shandor; the Gozer cult leader. Looked like there was a Terror Dog.
The complaints he should branch out are a bit weird too. Not sure if they want him in the next Expendables film or to play the the role of Bruce Lee in a Enter the Dragon remake or what.
That was Ray... and they never said it was a farmhouse, just "I grew up in that house!"
I like the original, do not love it like many do. This is a cool idea, after 30 years without it the whole idea of ghosts is rediscovered, together with the ghostbusters, I see the issues with "people forgot" but I can suspend disbelief enough that after 30 years people wouldn't be worried about it anymore until it comes back, so I am on board.
I think a cameo would not sway me to like it better or worse really, I guess they are saving it for trailers closer to the movie maybe? and if not, hey great, when we watch the movie it will be an awesome surprise, I hate when trailers give away too much.

Trailer was interesting. Obviously some nostalgia appeal with all the old equipment etc. but they aren't trying to rely on the old Cast at least at this stage to drive interest.
In the Ghostbuster world the invasion of the ghosts was all planned by Shandor so them disappearing after defeating shandors plans makes sense. Having this take place at a previously unknown Shandor site is fitting. I'm cautiously optimistic. Nothing I saw was horrible and tone wise it was very much close to the Original movie

I think the only hard part would be finding comedy actors with the right chemistry.
It would also explain why Egon bought a farm house. He could have been researching the site to figure out what Shandor was up to.
Right, but this is Sony Pictures. We already know they'd pick from the same bland cavalcade of used-up comedy dorks we keep seeing.
Or do we want Ghostbusters: This Time With Pete Davidson?
Paul Rudd is GB2 Oscar the baby grown up ---- "That Proton pack ..... It belongs to me!"
Finn Wolfhard "Come get it ya bitch"
Doesn't feel like a Ghostbusters film, will watch it but not overly excited off the back of that.
Seeing as all he said was he has no intrest in a ghostbuster film that ignores 2 movies and 2 series then no. And lets not forget that his wife was called a golddigger for being with a guy that did not want to watch a movie.
A very interesting trailer. It felt like a Spielberg movie which could potentially work (I wasn't immediately turned off like GB2016 which felt like a SNL parody of Ghostbusters from the first trailer). Obviously the movie could be different and it does feel like they were holding a lot back from this trailer (which is fine).
I look forward to seeing more and I'm cautiously optimistic at this point.

I love that they are at least attempting to make sure the movie stands on its own narrativewise and makes sense as an unit before the nostalgia train comes in and either elevates it or destroys it, dependig on how they handle it.
Yup that could explain it for sure. Farm house out in the middle of nowhere really doesn't scream Egon but with the area tied to another Shandor owned venture it starts to make more sense. Shandor has always been the lynchpin for Ghostbusters be it the movies or the game.
Paul Rudd's character remembers everything and is shocked the two kids aren't familiar with it. We have no idea what the general public thinks, just these two kids.
We cant get people to believe in climate change or that Donald Trump is a criminal. If someone told you the statue of liberty walked and ghosts were real and dont live in new york during the course of the movies would you believe it? Hell look at how any Ghost topic/ strange occurrence topic goes on era.
I also have a theory on how Slimer gets all the way out there(I'm convinced he's the green blurry ghost in the trailer and they are obscuring him on purpose).
He's been in that trap that the kids find for the past 30 years. The kids and Paul Rudd accidentally release him. Hijinks ensue.
At least one thing ID4 resurgence did right. I mean it got it wrong, but the base premise right.
What would be a plot within this universe you would consider acceptable that would interest you?
I quite liked it. This feels like a rebuilding of the franchise and you got to start somewhere. All in all looking forward to it.
GB2016 was using the past movies like improv troupes use suggestions from the audience.
I think a thing people miss is that ghosts aren't normally around like that. All of the paranormal events were caused by Shandor. It's been 30 years without Shandor schemes.
Which is fitting, because that entire movie was the cinematic equivalent of going to an improv show where one of the performers is really good and the rest are extremely mediocre and it just stars to drag and drag and draaaaaag and then you look at your watch and you've lost two and a half hours of your life but can't remember a single scene in any detail...
oh god I've watched too much improv
Is that so weird? The Ghostbusters are treated like conmen up until the last acts of the first two movies, nobody but NY residents directly affected would believe in ghosts, and even then some might blame hallucinations and whatnot. Plenty of room for doubt and ghosts stop appearing altogether between movies.
